To  meet  the  demand  for  a  low  priced  Indentation  Roller  we  have  added  Iron 
Rollers  to  our  list.  These  goods  will  be  found  First-class  in  every  respect;  but  we 
would  caution  users  to  see  that  the  teeth  are  thoroughly  cleaned  and  oiled  after 
using,  so  as  to  prevent  rusting,  and  thereby  causing  the  Tool  to  hang  or  drag  in 
the  indentations.

tion  roller,  we  have  added  this

Perfect  alignment,  true  expansion  joints;  no  time  wasted  in  setting  forms; 
durable  time  and  money  savers;  will  pay  their  costs  in  a  short  time. 

Note. — The  lower  cnt  illnstrates  the  form  and  expansion  joint  plates  set 
ready  to  fill  in,  and  explains  itself.  Any  number  of  plates  can  be  used.  The 
plates, being  set  level  with  the  top  of  the  forms,  there  is  no  obstruction  for  strike 
oft  or  floating.  No  stakes  to  be  made  or  lumber  wasted  to  hold  the  forms.  A 
turn  of  the  handle  locks  and  unlocks  the  plates.  No  wedges,  keys  or  hammers  to 
get  mislaid.  No  obstruction  of  any  kind.  Will  last  a  lifetime. 

The  upper  cnt  shows  the  expansion  joint  plate;  on  the  right  is  shown  the 
lever  drawn  down,  forcing  the  lock  forward  as  against  the  form  when  locked;  the 
left  hand  shows  the  lever  thrown  up,  opening  the  lock  on  the  forms,  and  can  be 
used  as  handles  when  removing  the  plates.  When  the  blocks  are  completed  the 
expansion  plates  can  be  removed  and  are  ready  for  use  in  another  section  of  the 
walk.  Six  plates  make  a  set,  that  number  being  what  a  gang  of  six  or  eight

Cement  Sidewalk  Construction 


Ill  some  cases  Avalks  are  laid  with  satisfactory  results  with  nothing  what¬ 
ever  between  the  walk  and  the  natural  soil.  In  these  cases  it  is  where  the  soil 
is  naturally  sandy.  But  we  would  advise  the  use  of  at  least  one  inch  of  sand 
in  all  cases. 

It  is  necessary,  to  insure  a  good  cement  pavement,  that  the  foundation  be 
properly  laid.  If  broken  stone  or  cinders  be  used,  the  pieces  should  not  be  less 
than  one  inch,  or  more  than  three  inches  in  size;  if  gravel,  coal  ash,  or  sand, 
it  should  be  good  clean  material. 

If  there  is  much  clay,  there  should  be  drainage  outlets  provided  to  allow  the 
water  to  run  out  from  under  the  wmrk  and  prevent  cracking.  If  rvater  accumu¬ 
lates  under  the  walk  and  freezes,  the  expansion  will  cause  the  mass  to  heave  up. 

Where  there  is  not  a  natural  drainage,  or  where  the  ground  is  not  sandy, 
one  should  excavate  to  the  depth  of  twelve  to  fourteen  inches. 

The  excavation  should  be  somewhat  larger  than  the  walk,  in  order  to  allow 
space  for  a  framework  of  two-inch  planks  on  edge  for  guides,  and  set  even 
with  the  top  of  the  sidewmlk  when  finished. 

Eight  to  ten  inches  of  the  excavation  should  be  filled  in  with  the  broken 
stone,  cinders,  coarse  gravel  or  sand.  This  should  be  put  in  in  layers  of  about 
two  inches,  rvet,  and  tamped  solid  by  the  use  of  our  tampers  (Figs.  352  to  359) 
to  avoid  settting. 

A  three  to  four-inch  coat  of  concrete,  composed  of  one  part  of  best  Portland 
cement,  two  parts  of  bar  sand  or  gravel  free  from  loam,  four  parts  of  stone 
or  furnace  slag  (same  to  pass  through  a  one-inch  ring),  thoroughly  mixed  dry. 
Then  add  enough  -water  to  allow  moisture  to  arise  to  the  surface  after  hard 
tamping  with  either  of  the  tampers  (Figs.  352  to  359)  most  suitable. 

Be  careful  to  cut  the  concrete,  after  tamping,  clean  through  on  the  required 
lines  with  the  concrete  cutter  (Figs.  321  or  322)  into  separate  flags  or  sections, 
so  as  to  allow  for  contraction  and  expansion,  and  thereby  guard  against  cracking. 

The  space  made  by  the  concrete  cutter  should  be  filled  with  dry  sand  and 
tamped. 

The  wearing  or  surface  coat  consists  of  one  part  of  best  Portland  cement, 
one  part  of  crushed  granite  or  slag  grit,  to  be  thoroughly  mixed  dry;  then  add 
enough  water  and  thoroughly  mix  it  to  a  stiff  mortar.  This  should  be  placed 
on  the  concrete  before  it  has  had  time  to  dry  or  become  set.  Spread  this  about 
one  inch  thick,  conforming  with  the  required  grade,  and  after  trow-eling  suf¬ 
ficient  to  work  the  air  out  with  the  smoothing  trowels  (Figs.  347  to  349),  the 
surface  is  levelled  with  the  floats  (Figs.  351%  and  351  A). 

A  dryer,  or  top  dressing,  of  equal  parts  of  seashore  or  flint  sand  and  best 
Portland  cement,  thoroughly  mixed,  should  be  spread  over  the  surface. 

The  top  dressing  and  wearing  coat  is  now  cut  into  blocks  or  flags  with  a 
top  knife  (Fig.  323),  being  careful  to  have  the  cuts  conform  with  the  cuts  in 
the  concrete.  The  cuts  or  joints  between  the  flags  are  finished  with  the 
jointers  (Figs.  323f  to  331)  according  to  the  width  of  the  joint  desired.  A 
curb  tool  (Fig.  340)  of  the  desired  radius  should  be  used  to  round  off  all  out¬ 
side  edges  of  the  work.  Should  a  bevel  edge  be  wmnted,  use  the  bevel  tool 
(Fig.  33814). 

To  give  the  pavement  a  neat  finish,  and  to  also  slightly  roughen  the  sur¬ 
face  and  prevent  slipping,  giving  a  dotted  appearance,  roller  (Fig.  317  or  3174) 
should  be  used.  Should  a  tool-finished  or  bush-hammered  effect  be  desired,  the 
roller  (Fig.  318)  should  be  used.  The  ribbon  roller  (Fig.  319),  and  likewise 
the  star  roller  add  greatly  to  the  appearance  of  the  walk  when  finished.  In  order 
to  get  the  best  possible  results,  it  is  necessary  to  have  the  surface  of  the  rollers 
kept  perfectly  clean.  Using  a  rag  saturated  in  kerosene  oil  from  time  to  time 
will  prevent  small  particles  of  cement  on  top  dressing  adhering  to  the  roller. 

Should  it  be  desirable,  a  handle  of  any  length  can  be  used  on  the  rollers 
by  means  of  the  extension  handle  (Fig.  320).

5{) 


After  the  pavement  has  been  tooled  with  the  roller,  the  name  plate  (Pig. 
344|)  or  the  letters  (Fig.  345f)  are  set  in  place;  or  the  name  stamp  (Figs.  345 
to  345^)  or  the  alphabet  (Fig.  346)  are  pressed  into  the  work  as  a  lasting  ad¬ 
vertisement. 

For  driveways,  stablework,  etc.,  it  is  advisable  to  make  the  joints,  or  grooves 
of  sufficient  width,  closeness,  and  depth  to  give  a  secure  footing  to  horses,  etc. 
For  this  purpose  the  driveway  roller  (Fig.  319%)  and  the  groovers  (Pigs. 
332  to  336)  have  been  designed.  Should  a  corrugated  surface  be  desired,  the 
beading  tool  (Pig.  3444)  will  be  found  very  useful.  Where  there  is  a  large 
surface  to  be  done,  the  impression  frame  (Fig.  3201)  is  the  tool,  as  twelve 
heavy  impressions  are  made  at  one  time. 

For  curbs  of  whatsoever  kind  the  Curb  Tool  (Fig.  340),  selected  according 
to  the  radius  desired,  or  Fig.  343  A  or  Pig.  343  B. 

For  circles  or  corners  of  curbs,  where  the  curb  tool  will  not  answer,  the 
Radius  Tool  (Fig.  337)  is  required.  For  curbs  or  copings  around  steps,  etc., 
the  Residence  Curb  Tool  (Fig.  341)  is  used. 

For  copings  around  lawns,  the  finishing  of  the  top  of  walls,  etc.,  the  Coping 
Tool  (Pig.  342). 

For  finishing  the  edges  of  steps  or  where  square  edges  are  needed,  Step 
Edger  (Fig.  339)  or  the  Angle  Trowels  (Figs.  3494  to  350f),  according  to  the 
shape  of  the  angle  required.  To  finish  the  nosing  of  the  tread  of  steps  use 
tool  (Pig.  344  A  or  344  B). 

Should  the  walk  require  a  gutter  to  carry  off  the  water,  we  recommend  the 
use  of  the  Gutter  Tool  (Fig.  343),  as  by  its  use  a  uniform  and  beautiful  gutter 
will  be  produced  with  little  labor.

When  a  Special  Color  is  Desired 

The  following  rule  is  recommended : 

Black — Use  2  per  cent.  Excelsior  Carbon  Black. 

Red — Use  10  per  cent,  best  Raw  Iron  Oxide. 

Brown — Use  6  per  cent,  best  Roasted  Iron  Oxide. 

Buff — Use  10  per  cent,  best  Ochre. 

Blue — Use  6  per  cent,  best  Ultramarine. 

White  (as  near  as  possible) — Use  light  shade  cement  and  marble  dust  or 
white  sand. 

The  strength  of  work  is  not  affected  by  coloring,  if  best  Metallic  Oxides, 
free  from  sulphur,  are  used. 

Never  use  Venetian  Red  or  Lamp  Black,  as  they  run  and  fade.
